Long Canyon is a bouldering area on Fort Bliss in New Mexico, managed by the Department of Defense. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Cap-Rock Boulder and South Organs both about 0.1 mile away. The closest trails are the Organ Peak Trail, about 1.2 miles off, and the Organ Needle Trail, about 1.6 miles away. The area holds eight bouldering routes, all rated on the V scale from V0 to V8. The easiest are Dumbell Arete at V0 and Short And Sweet at V1, while Holy Diver is the hardest at V8. The routes are all boulders, so there is no climbing on rock faces here. For an overnight stay, Aguirre Spring Recreation Area and Campground is about 2.6 miles away.
